Hi Robin,

Yes, I realize you want to leave it on, that's why I mentioned:

   if you `man xset', you'll figure out how not to turn off the screen
    - see -dpms flag (I think that's it).

Or alternatively, you could use the script I sent and set the `turn
off' value to something like a-bizillion.

Cheers,
